We consider the problem of discovering the optimal pair of substring patterns with bounded distance α, from a given set S of strings. We study two kinds of pattern classes, one is...
We develop data structures for dynamic closest pair problems with arbitrary (not necessarily geometric) distance functions, based on a technique previously used by the author for ...
In this paper we consider the unsplittable flow problem (UFP): given a directed or undirected network G = (V, E) with edge capacities and a set of terminal pairs (or requests) wit...
For a set of n points in the plane, we consider the axis–aligned (p, k)-Box Covering problem: Find p axis-aligned, pairwise-disjoint boxes that together contain at least n − k...

Recently, a number of interesting algorithmic problems have arisen from the emergence, in a number of countries, of kidney exchange schemes, whereby live donors are matched with r...
